We didn’t mean to ride it Kip having sorted a a picturesque ride on gravel but we were turned back because they were blasting. So, somewhat laden down with a days food, lights or the tunnels, cameras and extra gear and tools coz unsupported we thought , what the heck let’s do it! Did I tell you it’s the ONLY way back to our chalet? Who books a chalet at the top of a mountain???
Lee bombed off, Tommy in pursuit whereas the rest settled into a rhythm. Kip went too hard and overheated and had to stop to shed cold weather gear. The temp rose quickly under a clear blue sky and I was questioning my decision to wear a base layer. Adam was great company recognising I couldn’t talk because I was trying to breath
and between us we managed to keep a steady pace without stopping cresting in exactly the same time
1h 14.35 is just sneaky under the 1h 15 I hoped for. Lee and Tommy set a great time but were slow to take our photo as we crossed the line so have to do it again...the Alp that is

The intention was to wait until after ChristmasI hope I have a similar accident soon...
The 2018 cube agree hybrid sl bikes are floating around at about 20% off, hence the
accidental push of the buy it now button. I got the last one from Hargroves Cycles

Unless someone does an attempt in the next hour, there’s 4 cyclechatters in the top 10 for alpe d’duez today. Admittedly there was only 30 odd strava attempts, but I think we’ll take it!
It’s a bit harsh that I’m slightly ahead of lee. We started and finished side by side and there’s no way I go that pace without him.
